The post was not meant to describe alternative concurrency models, like the actor model you mentioned.
I had some fun writing concurrent code that we can write using the primitives included in java as version 8.
Like you said there are java libs which help to write concurrent code within the boundaries of those models, but those libs are not shipped together with the jdk.
Likewise, I am pretty sure there attempts to port the go concorrency model in java, for example cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/ofa/jcsp/ but again my post was not about that.

Anyway, your comment about reading (more) about akka or kotlin is valid, so I 'll take it as a constructive feedback, thanks!
